Passengers travelling through Terminals 1 and 2 have been hit by delays after the outage hit, affecting baggage and security systems.
A bit more now from Manchester Airport's managing director Chris Woodroofe. When he spoke to the media a short while ago he said 20% of the day's flights had been cancelled and 40% had departed. Talking about the other 40% of flights due to depart, he says: 'I think it's inevitable that some of those flights won't take off, which is why it's so important that our passengers talk to our airlines.
When asked by a reporter about passengers unable to get information and feeling abandoned, the managing director says his teams have communicated as best as they can. He again stressed the need for passengers to check with their airlines about the status of the flights before travelling to the airport. Woodroofe added that passengers who paid for car parking, lounge pass and fast-track boarding tickets should approach the airport about compensation.
